This intensive, interactive training course provides aspiring QPs and other pharmaceutical quality professionals the knowledge and understanding they need to perform the legal duties of the QP. Further, it teaches attendees how the QP must work with others to ensure that those duties and responsibilities are performed in the best interests of the company, the patient and society.
This course also helps you to understand what the QP must do themselves and what can/must be delegated to others. We provide advice on how the QP should work in tandem with professionals in other departments and stress the non-technical people skills that are essential to be a good QP.
When certifying medicinal products, it is of paramount importance that a QP has the ability to look at the broad issues of managing quality and to approach these issues in a cohesive way when making decisions to release or reject. Throughout the course you’ll have the opportunity to test your skills via interactive release or reject scenarios.
This course is offered either virtually, or in-person in York. If you choose our virtual learning option, training will be delivered via a combination of live instructor-led virtual classrooms and self-paced online learning. Full details will be sent to you following registration.
